Hello esteemed geniuses of sys hifi!
After fixing the 8 usually invisible WAN miniports under network adapters and un/installing a firewall, now updating the network drivers (OEM drivers are been used) for ethernet and wifi fails.
Ethernet is partially working, but otherwise broken, as protocol/config are not possible anymore on the network adapter, while the wifi driver update fails with "The specified datatype is invalid." and says "This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)".
What is the best way to fix this?
Thank you very much in advance and Merry Christmas to all of you!
